The New Year...
The New Year started off decently enough. I was at the end of a week long battle with the flu and my roommates were being homebodies, so we stayed in for New Years Eve and challenged each other on Guitar Hero. We all sucked so we tried to find the hardest song ( on the easy level of course) and then laughed at each other when we crashed and burned. With 20 minutes left until the New Year, we ran...

2010, what a year
This year has already been quite a whirlwind. They say it helps to journal your thoughts when in tough times. All summer I have told myself I’m going to start blogging about my Drum corps summer tour with the Bluecoats. Obviously I have not!
Let’s start with the hardest subject- on June 10,2010 my little brother shot and killed himself. There are no words to say about this or to...

Supplements...
Do I use supplements? Heck YEA I use supplements!
Being a bodybuilder, you are pushing your body to an extreme that is completely uncomfortable to your nervous and musculature system. It is very important to supplement your body with extra oils and such to protect your joints and allow you to keep moving and not become a Frankenstein!
Here are the supplements that I use:
Gaspari Myoplex - Whey...
Orange Roughy Tacos
Ok, I would have taken a pic but I was practically eating these before I was done rolling the thing up!
Bake orange roughy with olive oil and curry powder glaze
Toast whole wheat tortilla ( I put mine in the toaster!)
Slather on some artichoke hummus, slap on the roughy and some lettuce, EAT UP!
yuuuuuummm
Some days.... it just sucks
Some days, ugh.
Some days, poop.
Some days, just shoot me.
Some days, why am I doing this again?
Some days I just think to myself all day long, what the hell am I doing this for? Why am I doing this to my body? Why am I using my time for this?
After driving to the gym on auto-pilot, definintely sore and tight from the previous days workout, I sat in my car with the ac on thinking, ugh, I do...
I almost had a tail!
I’ve always had lower back issues… not strong enough, not flexible enough, hurting, etc.
So I got a full exam from ChiroFit Wellness Center where I train clients…. and we found some weird things.
The doctor stood there looking at the x-ray saying “well, this is interesting, this is very interesting”…. turns out that my last vertebrae is only about 1/3 the size...
Before you say "I can't, say "I'll try"
and then GIVE IT YOUR BEST!
Every day in the fitness world is battle. Every meal, every time you open the fridge, every day that you wake up.
Nutrition has by far been my DEMON. So far, I haven’t successfully beat it but I’m giving it my damn hardest try. I have been making excuses for months now and it’s gotten me nowhere but fatter. This is dumb and I’m over it. Layne...
